How it feels

A quiet, solitary boat journey across a strange sea, weighted by absence and unanswered questions.

What players say

Players compare it to Outer Wilds and praise its dense, multilayered story. The sailing is technical and exploration-driven, but some find the puzzles difficult and the controls a bit janky. A creepy, eerie atmosphere runs through the search for lore and multiple endings.
